I stopped loving you

I thought our love was unending, I thought I’d never deny the feelings that grow stronger as each day passes by.  
I thought I knew exactly what was going through your head, and perhaps it would have been better to leave some things unsaid.  
I thought this was an unending journey to a better life somewhere, and that we would grow stronger with all the feelings that we share.  
I thought I held all the things that I treasure most, and there would be no more room for the word almost.  
But, as the tears burn my cheeks and I sit down to cry, I know that you love me less as each day passes by.  
This may be my last confession, and somehow, I already know that I must pick up the broken pieces and somehow let you go.  
Why can’t this be perfect, why is it so hard to understand, the human nature that grows between a woman and a man?  
If love is truly intended for those who seek it out, then I’ll always be lost in the shadow of a doubt.  
I cannot take the pain, for I deserve it even less, and I never took our love in vain and I really tried my best.  
You’ll probably never read these words because I lost sound long ago, and I must save my broken heart before I lose my soul.  
But, if you ever care to hear what I have to say, from my lips to your addled ear, 
I stopped loving you today.
